I'm looping up with my class to first grade and wanted to refresh our Daily 5. Your website is a tremendous help and inspiration! I have some of my stuff posted on my blog, but it isn't nearly as impressive as yours. Hopefully you will find something helpful so I can return the favor. Thanks again!<br /><br />Nicole<br /><br />www.flippingforfirstgrade.blogspot.comNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611339752098620949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301213489651644879.post-48298599112233019022011-07-16T19:52:43.039-07:002011-07-16T19:52:43.039-07:00Would you mind sharing your schedule with D5?Would you mind sharing your schedule with D5?meostressedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388592784535906069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301213489651644879.post-18097018118268694832011-07-11T15:33:02.895-07:002011-07-11T15:33:02.895-07:00One of my biggest fears before starting Daily 5 wa...One of my biggest fears before starting Daily 5 was that the students would be bored. Surprisingly enough, they were not. I think this had to do the fact that they were the ones to choose whichever station they wanted to be in everyday (they had to choose read to self and work on writing daily though). I would also add things to do for each station as the year went on. <br />Listening to Reading was always a big hit because they LOVE to go on the computer.<br />Read to self was a must but the students liked it because they chose their own books when they "shopped" for books on Mondays.<br />Work on Writing was also a must but also a favorite because of dry-erase boards, picture dictionaries, markers, and other writing tools.<br />Working with words was always fun because in the beginning I had things like playdough, magnetic letters and wikki sticks. As the year went on I added different games and puzzles they could choose from. <br /><br />Another thing to remember is that these sessions are quite short. We worked our way up to 15-20 minutes so the students didn't really have time to be bored.<br /><br />It all seemed so overwhelming when I was reading the book last summer but watching the DVD helped tremendously. I know the sisters have some video clips on their website that were helpful as well. It makes it look much more doable in Kindergarten. <br /><br />I would highly recommend you sticking with it and trying it out in your classroom. It takes a while in the beginning to build up the their stamina but after that, you'd be surprised how well they enjoy themselves while learning and how much you are able to get done with groups because they are completely independent! Let me know if you want to take a look at what my schedule looked like last year implementing Daily 5.<br /><br />Good luck!Judy Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17246637147266617064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301213489651644879.post-60714920261862157432011-07-10T20:25:11.175-07:002011-07-10T20:25:11.175-07:00I started the book but just felt it might be too d...I started the book but just felt it might be too difficult to completely implement in kindergarten. I would be doing Daily 5 on my own. We don't really have a series or program that we HAVE to do at my school and different teachers do different things. I do Literacy Centers and the kids LOVE centers but they would get bored if i didn't rotate new things in. Did your kids get bored with the same thing day in and day out all year long? I really want to try the Daily 5 but am a little hessitant taking the plunge. Thanks for any suggestions :)Donna Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397837784967263307noreply@blogger.com
